About
Situated in the heart of Birmingham's renowned Jewellery Quarter, and literally within one hundred yards of the Lucas building (where many of the early vintage lamps we know today were originally manufactured) we are truly privileged to offer our bespoke services from a backdrop of such historical significance.

Being enthusiasts of the hand built beauty and grace of classic and vintage vehicles, we cater for clients as diverse as " the trader round the corner" to the "seasoned vintage car collector". And our passion runs as deep as yours!
